Do you tuck them away at the end of August or do you keep them out well into September? We're talking about pools, jet skis, boats, etc., when do you shut things down? Tell us in the comments!

As we celebrate the retirement of Captain Jeff Skiles, it’s only fitting to reflect on his remarkable career and the invaluable role he played as a Second in Command. In January 2009, he served as First Officer alongside Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger on US Airways Flight 1549—better known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.” If you’ve ever heard Jeff speak or read his interviews, you know he’s a humble professional who credits that day’s success to thorough training and the decisive leadership of his Captain. But this raises an important question: how do leaders like Skiles and Sullenberger emerge? Are they born leaders, or are they shaped by systems and environments that prepare them for excellence? If your organization is struggling to cultivate the next generation of leaders, it might be time to reexamine your leadership development strategy. Discover how we can help: https://lnkd.in/eUG3ufaz

The US passed a law mandating Airlines to refund tickets in the event of cancellations, delays and lost baggages. These new risks for the Airlines are a huge opportunity for Insurance firms. I envision an insurance product sold to Airlines to cover the refunds in these events. This would help spread the risk between airlines and make the costs more predictable for the airline (regular premiums). The premiums will most likely be a percentage of tickets fares. Although costs would certainly vary by carrier, airport, season, time, airplane, etc, I imagine these would be computed and then averaged out to charge a flat rate on all tickets to a carrier, based on their historic flight data. Would airlines simply build this into the ticket price? Most certainly. But, I venture people would mind the price hike far less than the absolute relief of getting a hassle free refund when things go south. All in all, it’s a very interesting application of Society of Actuaries ‘ motto: Risk is Opportunity.

Your strength and resilience will shine through tough times.
